COWBOY, BAKER AND OPTICIAN SEEK EARLDOM • Legal Battle Is Opened by Three Claimants to Settle Status. BY WALLACE CARROLL United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Dec. 11.—A cowboy, a baker and an optician opened their legal battle here today to prove their conflicting claims to the earldom of Egmont. The cowboy is Frederick Joseph Trevelyan Perceval, 56, for twentyeight years a rancher in Alberta, Canada. The baker is James William Perceval, 65, a resident of London and the father of six children. The optician is Robert Pownall, an old-age pensioner of Haydock, Lancashire. Whoever wins the three-cornered fight will become earl of Egmont, Baron Perceval, Baron Arden and Baron Loveland Holland. Thn value of the estates to which he will succeed is estimated at from $500,000 to $1,000,000. The three claimants to the Egmont title and fortune have searched the Perceval family records back to 1733, when the title was granted. In their attempt to fill several blank spaces in the Perceval genealogical table and thus substantiate their individual claims, they have carried their investigations as far as Australia.

“THREE GRACES” IS NEXT CHURCH PLAY The Sutherland Players Have Decided to Present “The Three Graces” for Two Night Performances. AS the second regular production of their 1929=-30 winter season, the Sutherland Players will present Kenyon Nicholson's comedy, “The Three Graces,” at two performances, Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 17 and 18, at 8:15 o'clock, at the Sutherland Presbyterian church, Twentyeighth and Bellefontaine streets. Nicholson, who has become one of the popular young contemporary playwrights, has a number of plays to his credit. He first attracted attention through his “Honor Bright,” on w : hich he collaborated with Meredith Nicholson. “The Barker,” his picturization of carnival life, has been most suc-

cessful on both stage and screen. In collaboration with John Golden, he writes “Eva the Fifth,” which ran on Broadway during part of last 1 season. Other of his plays include “Meet the Missus,” “The Snake E&ter” 'and “Wanderlust,” and in collaboration with Charles Knox, "Here’s to Your Health.” “In “The Three Graces,” which is a farce comedy of college life, it is three charming young women who are titularly referred to. Charming but also ingenious—for they immediately transform an old house, which they are unable to rent because of a ghost story, into a highly popular college tearoom. The unusual part of this usualsounding background enters in when the report reaches the football coach hat the captain of his team has consumed a • waffle the day before the Big Game at the girls’ tearoom. Those who have been selected by Norman Green, director, to play the Three Graces are Mary Hoover, Helen Way and Bernice Mitchell Yeung, with Riley Fiedderjohn as the leading man and Joe Foy in the comedy lead. Others in the unusually large cast consist of Roberta Hawkins, Rutch Repschlager, Sue Tezzman, Ruth Brown, Maxine McKamey, Naomi Brovi3k, Josenhine Criss, Margaret Hatfield, Carrie D. Cosney, William Oakes, William Young, Edward Green, Russell Young, Marvin Stewart, Robert Shaw, John Marshall, Paul Fledderichn, William McKamey and John Cavin. Eetween acts, at both performances, music will be furnished by Leslie Troutman’s orchestra. tt tt a Other Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Hearts in Exile” at the Apollo, Mrs. George Primrose at the ; Lyric, Charlie Davis at the Indiana, ■ “Gold Diggers of Broadway” at the

Ohio, “Flight” at the Circle, “Untamed” at the Palace, movies at the Colonial, and burlesque at the Mutual. DRY WORKER GIVES UP Impossible to Enforce Prohibition, Official Says in Resigning. 81l T'v : trrl Prr*B CHICAGO, Dec. 11.—One might as well try to mop up the ocean with a sponge as to endeavor to enforce the prohibition amendment, declared Mrs. Ella Mersman in turning in her resignation as secretary to the United States commissioner here. “I give up,” Mrs. Mersman told Commissioner Edwin K. Walker Tuesday. “I am convinced firmly of the futility of prohibition enforcement after eight years of honest endeavor to enforce it.”
